Color Recognition System for Visually Impaired Persons

Abstract

This paper focuses on assisting tools for visually impaired persons. There is an ongoing research on the Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) which focuses mainly on the use of computer technology, especially on the interaction between the people and the computer. Visually impaired persons are facing many problems in their day-to-day life as everything around us is encoded visually. This paper aims to propose a camera-based system to identify different colors of clothes. This system integrates a camera, a computer and audio output device for the description of clothing colors. The clothing colors are described verbally to visually impaired person.
